Household batteries (dry-cell) can be recycled at various locations (see link below)

Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs) and tubes must not be disposed of in the general household waste and recycling bins. CFLs can be disposed of at the City’s Operations Centre.

For information about what materials can and cannot be recycled, please use the 'What can I recycle' link below. Your yellow top recycling bin is emptied fortnightly on the same day as your normal rubbish bin collection.

Handy hints

Bins exceeding 50kg will not be lifted by the truck.

Bins are not transferable and must remain on the property.

Return bins to your property as soon as possible (no later than 24 hours after collection).

Overfilling or jamming waste/recycling into your bin prevents the lid from closing. This results in wind-blown litter, spillages during collection and prevents your bin from being emptied properly.

Put lawn clippings and small prunings on top of waste material in your rubbish bin to prevent jamming.
